Harley Earl Terrorizes Tech Center

From the October 2003 Automobile Magazine:

"Warren, Michigan - A closed door design briefing for General Motors board members fell into pandemonium last month when a tall, well-dressed, disembodied specter took form over the presentation stage and announced, "I'm Harley Earl, and I've came to kick your asses." Several full scale models of a proposed Saab SUV then levitated into the air, only to come crashing back down in a cloud of shattered clay.
"It was him, all right" said a visibly shaken design chief Wayne Cherry following the ectoplasmic power play. "First I sensed a cold, unholy clamminess from somewhere beyond the grave, and then I developed an uncontrollable urge to chrome things." Elsewhere in the Tech Center a pre-production 2004 Monte Carlo began filling with human blood, and the entire Pontiac Aztec design team was sucked down a fiery hellmouth.
Reached at his California home, retired design chief Charles Jordan told reporters, " I feel for the poor saps -- Harley Earl was terrifiying enough when he was still alive. Still, you have to admit they were asking for it."
In a related incident, paranormal investigators recently rushed to the scene of a GM investor meeting when CFO John Devine began making cryptic runes on a chalkboard and speaking in tongues. The alarm proved false when fellow board member Robert Lutz pointed out that "he's always that way." -- Jay Lamm


Funny halloween stuff!

Sounds like an X-Files case.
